ETHEREAL

Director:  Majid Asadi

IRAN

A police detective, still grieving two months after his wife's death, is assigned to investigate the suspicious death of a mysterious occultist.

The producer of the film, Mohammad Asadi, has an official support letter from ICFR and is currently facing serious pressure and restrictions in Iran.

"Mr. Asadi’s first short film, Once Upon a Time, never saw the light of day as it was censored and banned by the Iranian authorities in post-production already. His subsequent short film, 2047, did find its way out of the country despite the government’s ban of the film, and ended up in the sales section of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Market. Unfortunately the film led to a psychologically and physically scarring two-week imprisonment in the notorious Evin Prison for Mr. Asadi."  -- International Coalition for Filmmakers at Risk
